Ojai Film Society presents: Eye in the Sky
As directed by Gavin Hood, Eye in the Sky takes a close, hard look at the morality of drone strikes in the war on terrorism through an intense game of cat-and-mouse. Helen Mirren plays Colonel Helen Powell, the fierce officer on the trail of a radicalized English woman who is meeting with top terror targets.
In this, Alan Rickmans final film, he plays Powells superior officer, Lt. Gen. Frank Benson, who upgrades that order from capture to kill. World weary and suffused with sympathy, Benson acts as the audiences moral guide into this ambiguous world - his nuanced role balanced against Powells icy will.
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad) plays Steve Watts, the drone pilot operator in Nevada, who is forced to keep delaying the attack due to a series of interruptions. This taut thriller, says Rolling Stones Peter Travers, asks does conscience still figure in modern warfare?"
